That's really weird, Discovery has huge distribution. It's usually fringe channels that companies believe no one will miss that get the axe and silently disappear from popular packages

You think Mythbusters' schedule is intolerable as it is, but try getting Discovery Canada. They don't show new episodes on any specific day or even when they're new, you just have to sort through their miscellaneous timeslots and hope you strike a new ep you haven't seen now and then. They definitely don't program their playing order with any rhyme or reason and it's frustrating as a fan.

I'm not a big DC fan, I've just seen the odd episode or 5 here and there, but it's very apparent that there's nearly no consistency even within Rowe's own narration, even in the very same episode. The scoreboards are utterly meaningless.

My favorite part about catching classic eps is noting the hair phases Adam goes through to compensate for his slow but sure MPB while Jamie stays looking exactly the same like a highlander. "Don't try any of this at home. ...EVER!" is the most-used discretionary bumper.

Mike is genial and entertaining when he's interacting glibly, not so much when he takes an aside and tries to specifically be a ham. Say "poop" on primetime off-cable with that obnoxious shiteating grin yet again, motherfucker. Do it. DO IT

I think the build team gets a bad rap for no particular reason, they're jsut average photogenic nerds with advanced engineering degrees and experience. They act pretty drat natural aside from the infrequent awkward skit.

I should have stipulated that Kari is mostly useless. She wouldn't be there if she were so darn cute! Thankfully her personality doesn't suck the air out of every single scene she's in so it gets a pass. Why would you hate Grant or Tori? That's a strong word and they hardly do anything so odious as to justify such a response. Don't be hatin' TheRationalRedditor fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Oct 29, 2009 |

At the very least, the one you can be sure of is that anyone seriously trying to pit them 'against' each other on perceived criteria that has been embellished for promotional purposes is a Raging Flamer.

Scarecrow411 posted:I have to agree with Beeb here. The build team is the weakest part of the show, but I'd still take Jessi over Kari. My favorite build-team moment was in one of the latter episodes when Grant has to rig something up and you can see how excited he is, and it's real excitement. There's so much screaming and hi-fives and hamming it up at every explosion that it was nice to see something genuine.

Generalized pain tolerance isn't something that can be effectively tested ever due to both the scope, dimorphism and inherent ethical quandries, much less by a serialized hourlong television show.

For some reason the Mythbusters Top 25 clip show has been played on Discovery Canada already even though it's new (normally like 3 months behind in new episodes for some reason), and it's actually pretty good thanks to all the specific interviews. It again serves as a reminder to amaze me at the sheer depth of their archival catalogues and the editing prowess that stitches it all together so smoothly. They've got A/V wizards on that job.

magiccarpet posted:All shows licensed for international air/distribution are provided with multiple audio tracks. Usually its a full mix (w/ America VO), a mix minus the VO, a straight music track and then a straight FX track. Local markets will then hack and slash it down for air in terms of time, any editing for content and the new VO read. Its called localization in some markets.

My favorite part was the 3 or so scenes of entire parts of old Myths that they never put into the actual episodes. I bet they've got tons of those lying around for various reasons. Also, I saw this this past Sunday on Canadian Discovery when it was brand new, apparently they might not be inexplicably arriving 2 months late anymore! That said, the remixed music is a downgrade!

Yeah that sounds awful. They haven't really gained prestige or credibility within the framework of the show through the passing years - in fact, their assignments and scripting is more asinine than ever. I think the only time I actually liked them losing their lunch was when they were unexpectedly all wretching during the making of "Earwax Candle", because it wasn't supposed to be the content of the segment. Obviously, they're keen to artificially recreate that whenever they get an opportunity.

They should really stay away from those Myths with the B-team as subjects, they have enough longstanding credibility problems with the fanbase as it is (and that was BEFORE the cannonball home delivery). That said, I think my favorite single memory of them being clowns was when everyone was retching while trying to put together that disgusting little earwax candle. I will always view more of those type of moments.

Putting a small thing between two big heavy bags of unpressurized water in a full scale high impact lateral collision doesn't even seem on paper like it could ever be of any benefit as a safety device as opposed to a hydraulic murder-press. I mean, isn't +850Gs the highest single Buster damage they've ever recorded in a ground vehicle accident scenario?
